Mariah Carey Reveals Pregnancy Craving
Mariah Carey is keeping mum on whether she's expecting twins but she did open up about her changing body and pregnancy cravings.
Speaking to Extra's AJ Calloway she said, "My fingers obviously swelled a little bit. I can't even get this ring off if I tried. My taste bud situation is unparalleled... I don't know what it is, but I'm just about fruit for some reason. It has to be really good for me to like it."

Justin Bieber Posts 'It Gets Better' Video
'I just wanted to say there's nothing cool about being a bully,' singer says.

Justin Bieber has joined the ranks of stars speaking out against bullying. The 16-year-old American Music Award-winning singer recently spoke to talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres about his own bullying experience, and in an "It Gets Better" clip that debuted on DeGeneres' site on Monday, he urged his fans to take action if they see someone being bullied.
In the 20-second video, Bieber, wearing a black T-shirt and backward black baseball cap, says, "Hey guys, I'm Justin Bieber. I just wanted to say there's nothing cool about being a bully. And if you're getting bullied, make sure to tell someone and, you know, it gets better. And if you're a bystander, make sure to step in and, you know, help out."
The clip appeared to have been filmed during Bieber's appearance on DeGeneres' show earlier this month, when he discussed his own experiences with bullying.
"Everybody goes through bullying," he said on the show. "Everybody has, even me. On my YouTube page, there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff. Like, I'm not mad, I'm 16 and I don't have chest hair. I'm not angry about it at the moment. That will come. People are like, 'Look at him, he puts helium in his voice before he sings.' You just have to laugh at yourself. It's funny." His appearance on the show came shortly after he was reportedly bullied while playing laser tag in Canada in October.
Bieber also had a similar message for those who see bullying going on around them. "There are so many bullies. It goes on so much," he told DeGeneres. "I think that you should ... especially if you are a bystander, you definitely should help out because it could be you next."
In the laser-tag incident last month, a 12-year-old boy allegedly used an anti-gay slur against Bieber after overzealously targeting the "Baby" singer during a heated match.
Bieber joins a long list of stars and politicians who have joined the "It Gets Better" anti-bullying campaign, including President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Adam Lambert, Aubrey O'Day, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Katy Perry, who dedicated her "Firework" clip to the campaign.

Ke$ha Loses Her Mind On 'Blow'
Latest electro-dance track from Cannibal hits the Net.

Ke$ha is ready to party again. The latest track from Cannibal, "Blow," has hit the Internet, the fourth song from the November 22 EP to do so.
So what do fans get this time around? Well, Ke$ha kicks off the dark, electro track with a big laugh and a command to "party." Razor-edged synths kick in over a super-thumping beat as the singer and her pals, who happen to be "pretty and sick" and "young and bored," get ready to dance in a crash pad that has "dirt and glitter" covering the floor.
Ke$ha's Auto-Tuned yodeling comes over the beat as she proclaims, "This place about to blow," during the song's scream-along party-anthem chorus. The song has many of the elements of a Ke$ha tune — carpe diem attitude and grinding beats — but it also shows the darker side of the singer with lyrics like: "We get what we want/ We do what you don't." The song's mantra is pretty much summed up in one of the song's choice lines: "It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out."
Ke$ha is a maneater on "Cannibal," empowers her fans on "We R Who We R" and disses a potential lover on the grimy track "Sleazy."
"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," the pop star said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."
What do you think of Ke$ha's latest track, "Blow"? Tell us in the comments!

Kanye West, Justin Bieber Join Tradition Of Mega-Release Weeks
This isn't the first time labels have loaded the shelves with new releases all at once.
By Vaughn Trudeau Schoonmaker

The sheer volume of mainstream albums dropping this week makes our head spin like that ancient artifact, the vinyl record. Monday saw the release of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Ke$ha's Cannibal, Jay-Z's The Hits Collection Vol. 1, Lloyd Banks' Hunger for More 2 and My Chemical Romance's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. And Friday is the big day for Justin Bieber's My Worlds Acoustic.
Many may wonder why the bigwigs of the music industry would put out such a gargantuan selection all at once. But there's a precedent for this kind of strategy. In fact, music lovers have been through this very same overload dilemma a handful of times over the last decade. Here's a look back at some of them:
September 11, 2001 became a national tragedy, though it was supposed to be a huge day for the music business. Mariah Carey's "Glitter" soundtrack, Jay-Z's Blueprint, Bob Dylan's Love and Theft, Ben Folds' Rockin' the Suburbs, Nickelback's Silver Side Up and P.O.D.'s Satellite were among the many albums that were released at the beginning of the week.
November 18, 2003 marked the start to one of the year's biggest music release weeks. The range of albums seemed to hit every demographic imaginable. Releases included Britney Spears' In the Zone, Blink-182's self-titled fifth studio album, Timbaland & Magoo's Under Construction, Part II, Christmas albums from Whitey Houston and Ashanti, compilations from Michael Jackson, Moby and Joe Satriani, and live albums/DVDs from Dave Matthews Band and Linkin Park.
Following the pattern of Thanksgiving week album releases, November 22, 2004 began another big week. Two "American Idol" winners, Fantasia and Ruben Studdard went head-to-head with Free Yourself and I Need an Angel, respectively. The shelves were also packed with U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, Gwen Stefani's solo debut Love. Angel. Music. Baby., as well as other releases from Creed, Anthrax, Evanescence, Nirvana and Jessica Simpson.
September 12, 2006 was the drop date of Justin Timberlake's second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, which produced five smash hit singles. That week John Mayer's Continuum and Bob Seger's Face the Promise were released, and both eventually went platinum. Other albums and compilations came from the Mars Volta, Papa Roach, Lionel Richie, Veruca Salt, Everclear, and the Barenaked Ladies.
On September 11, 2007 after threatening to retire from music if his album Curtis was outsold, 50 Cent came in second to Kanye West's Graduation. And though he wasn't included in the 50 Cent Challenge, Kenny Chesney's Just Who I Am: Pirates and Poets was released the same day and sold very well. The date also marked the release of Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam, which didn't exactly pose a threat.
One of the wildest weeks of 2009's album drop calendar was easily that of November 16. Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, Justin Bieber's My World, Leona Lewis' Echo, OneRepublic's Waking Up, Kris Allen's self-titled debut, Norah Jones' The Fall, and compilations from both Janet Jackson and Fall Out Boy were some of the new additions to the music scene.
Which new albums are you buying this week? Talk about it in the comments!
Open the floodgates! It's Mega-Release Week, with Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and Lloyd Banks all dropping new albums. Stick with MTV News for everything you need to know about the brand-new music.

BUSTED: Preggo "ATL Housewife" Kim Zolciak Puffs on a Ciggy
Not even a baby will stop "Atlanta Housewife," Kim Zolciak's, show. Kim was spotted smoking a cigarette a few weeks ago and, of course, the pic has surfaced on the net. Read on to see the pic...
32-year-old Kim Zolciak was caught puffing away while taking a break from watching an NFL game. While we are no doctors, it doesnt take a genius to know that smoking while pregnant is NOT smart!
Kim, who is known for being a chain smoker on the "Real Housewives of Atlanta," recently announced that her and her NFL player boyfriend Kroy Biermann were expecting their first child.
According to TMZ, Kim knew she was pregnant when these photos were taken. When she revealed the news that she was pregnant she said that she denied the rumors in October because she was only in her first trimester and you never know what could happen. SMDH
Not only is she probably upsetting the baby by playing her "Tardy for the Party" and "Google Me" songs for it, but now she's adding cigarettes to the trauma? Goodness.

Stars Reveal Their Hilarious -- and Weird! -- Holiday Traditions
From Jake Gyllenhaal to Christina Aguilera, celebs dish to iVillage about their strange and sweet family holiday rituals!
Jessica Enjoys the Thanksgiving Parade With Eric, Kanye, and Kylie
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson fueled up with dinner out in NYC on Wednesday night, and yesterday she was ready to man her float during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, which also brought out Jimmy Fallon, Kanye West, and Kylie Minogue. The singer, whose Jessica Simpson Collection is sold by the retailer, participated in the annual tradition following a busy week of promoting her new holiday album despite a nasty battle with the flu. Her TV special also aired last night, though we had a special sneak peek. Jessica then went back to her base at the Ritz-Carlton to enjoy a meal with her family, though this year's spread was slightly different to accommodate Eric's vegan diet. She recently revealed even more special details about his recent proposal, saying that he made her pause her episode of Parenthood so that he could pop the question at her LA home.
To see more from the parade, just read more.

Robert Plant And Alison Krauss Win Grammy Album Of The Year
Raising Sand, from Led Zeppelin vet and bluegrass superstar, wins five Grammys on Sunday night.

Alison Krauss and Robert Plant accept the award for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards on Sunday

"I'm bewildered," Robert Plant said onstage as he accepted the Grammy Album of the Year award with Alison Krauss on Sunday night. "In the old days we would have called this selling out, but it's a good way to spend a Sunday."
He was probably one of the few who were surprised, because Raising Sand, which won five trophies at Sunday night's show, is in many ways the perfect Grammy album. It features two respected veterans, a critically lauded producer, some sandpaper-and-velvet vocals and a baker's dozen of time-tested standards.
You're probably familiar with Robert Plant from his Led Zeppelin days, and you might be aware of producer T-Bone Burnett's work on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (it won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002). And if you don't know who Alison Krauss is, she possesses a haunting set of pipes and is one of the meanest fiddle players in the world. Oh, and she's won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist and the seventh-most in history.
Really, she's the key to Sand's success, and not just because of her voice (or her fiddle playing). She and Plant first met in 2004, at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to legendary bluesman Leadbelly, and the former Zeppelin man was amazed by her knowledge of American Roots music — so much so that they began kicking around the idea of recording an album together. Three years later, Sand was released.
And while Plant possesses the more famous voice, the album's finest moments radiate from Krauss. Whether she's getting bluesy on Little Milton's "Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson" or entwining with Plant's husky voice on songs like "Please Read the Letter" and Roly Salley's winsome "Killing the Blues," she more than carries her end of the bargain.
And perhaps that's also due to producer Burnett, who handpicked the 13 songs the duo cover on Sand. His arrangements are sparse — giving the two voices ample room to breathe — yet dense, warm and crackling at the same time. It's a testament to his work that he's often given just as much billing as Plant and Krauss on the project ... and it's certainly justified.
To date, Sand has sold more than 1 million copies, heaped tons of acclaim and actually earned a Grammy last year — "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" took home the award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
One expert was surprised not by the album's success, but by the fact that it's actually quite a good album.
"At first, the album seemed like a vanity project. ... Two names, clearly a one-off record, didn't have to be any good, you know?" New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica said. "Led Zeppelin fans would buy it because of Robert Plant, Alison Krauss would get a check. But it actually turned out to be a really thoughtful, really good record. So when you combine all that with the fact that the Grammys love to lionize one of their own, I could really see it taking home some awards."
